List Methods

Python provides several useful methods for manipulating lists: 1) Methods like append(), extend(), insert() allow adding elements to lists in various ways. 2) sort() arranges list elements in ascending order. 3) pop() removes and returns the last/specific indexed element. 4) Other methods like count(), remove() allow filtering lists by checking/deleting elements.

List methods Example

Python provides methods that operate on lists. >>> t = ['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'a']

i) append() >>> t.sort()

- adds a new element to the end of a list. >>> t

Syntax: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

listname.append(element) iv) reverse()

Example - used to reverse the entire list.

>>> t = ['a', 'b', 'c'] - Syntax:

>>> t.append('d') listname.reverse()

>>> t -Example:

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] >>> t = ['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'a']

ii) extend() >>> t.reverse()

- takes a list as an argument and appends >>> t


all of the elements.
['a', 'b', 'e', 'c', 'd']
Syntax:
v) count()
listname1.extend(listname2)
- returns the number of occurrences of
Example the given substring.

>>> t1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'] - Syntax:

>>> t2 = ['d', 'e'] listname.count(element) -


Example
>>> t1.extend(t2)
>>> t = ['d', 'c', 'a', 'e', 'b', 'a']
>>> t1
>>>t.count('a')
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
2
This example leaves t2 unmodified.
vi) insert()
iii) sort()
- used to insert the given element in the
- arranges the elements of the list in given position.
ascending order.
-Syntax:
Syntax:
listname.insert(index,element)
listname.sort()
- Example:

>>> t = ['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'a']


>>> t.insert(4,'f') - Example:

>>> t >>> t = ['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'a']

['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'f', 'a'] >>> t.pop(2)

vii) pop() 'e'

- removes and returns the last element in viii) remove()


the list.
- If the element to be deleted is known
- Syntax: and the removed value is not needed, remove()
can be used to remove the given element.
listname.pop()
- Syntax:
- Example:
listname.remove(element)
>>> t = ['d', 'c', 'e', 'b', 'a']
>>> t.pop() - Example:

'a' >>> t = ['a', 'b', 'c']

pop(index) >>> t.remove('b')

- removes and returns the element at >>> t


given index in the list.
['a', 'c']
- Syntax:

listname.pop(index)
